Whole Community Approach

The Whole Community Approach is a way of managing emergencies by engaging everyone—individuals, organizations, local government, and businesses—to work together proactively. Instead of relying solely on emergency services, it involves planning, preparedness, and sharing resources across the entire community to build resilience. This collaborative effort ensures that when a crisis occurs, responses are more effective, coordinated, and tailored to the community’s specific needs. Ultimately, it empowers all members to contribute to safety and recovery, fostering a stronger, more prepared community before, during, and after emergencies.
